The 6" inlet only has a 1.75" flange. Can I simply use a hose-clamp to
clamp a duct onto the 6" inlet? I am afraid that the 1.75" flange
doesn't provide enough area for the hose-clamp to lock the hose down.
Is there a better way to do this?

The hose clamp should be plenty, don't forget it's mainly just holding while
the machine is off, when it's on the vacuum itself is trying to pull it
tighter.
